The human body is a complex system carefully, perfectly designed, and put together by nature. It’s a remarkable and complex organism, composed of living cells and extracellular materials like tissues, and organs- heart, lungs, and liver that drive other complex systems like bones, respiratory, circulatory, digestive, excretory, endocrine, nervous, and reproductive systems. There is the skin membrane including nails and hair cells.
Of all the body organs, the heart works the hardest. It drives the functionality of other body systems as it pumps blood that enables different systems to perform. Heart HQ says, “A strong heart is the foundation of a strong life. Don’t wait until it’s too late to start caring for your heart.” No wonder the vital stats that doctors and other health personnel first check on patients are heart-related examinations like pulse, blood pressure, and blood cholesterol checks.
High Blood Cholesterol & Cardiovascular Diseases
Experts and medical journals say too much cholesterol in the blood creates an unwanted pressure on the functionality of the heart and can be catastrophic to heart health. It can cause an accumulation of fatty deposits that narrow or block blood arteries thereby increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases including coronary artery disease, heart attacks, chest pain, and stroke. A World Health Organization (WHO) report said cardiovascular diseases killed 17.9 million people globally, representing 32% of global deaths in 2019. Too much cholesterol in the blood reduces blood flow to the legs and feet causing discomfort and potentially leading to peripheral artery disease.
About 20% of the cholesterol in the blood is from what we eat, while the liver produces the remaining in the body. Experts say there are good and bad cholesterol in the body. According to Medline Plus, LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) is bad cholesterol that causes a buildup of cholesterol in the arteries. At the same time, HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) is good cholesterol because it carries cholesterol from the other part of the body back to the liver. LDL has been fingered as a culprit of cardiovascular ailments.
How Golden Penny Oil Reduces the Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases
Experts say nutrition is one sure way to mitigate heart disease. And our people say “A vulnerable heart is it that does not eat pepper”. Eating a nutritious, well-balanced diet offers one of the simplest, most effective ways of reducing the risk of heart disease, cancer, and other health problems. A balanced diet can help you reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering your cholesterol and blood pressure and helping you lose weight.
Edible oil plays a crucial role in our cooking, baking, and frying. However, not all oils are good for the body. Oils containing trans-fats are harmful to heart health. Nutritionists recommend using oil from sources that comply with micronutrient fortification standards, such as the Golden Penny Oil brands, for healthy consumption. Golden Penny Vegetable and Soya Oils are two pure oils with 0g of trans- fats per serving. These oils are cholesterol-free and enriched with vitamins and iron to address nutritional deficiencies.
In addition to being cholesterol-free, Golden Penny oil brands are unsaturated oils that lower the level of LDL (bad cholesterol) and raise the level of HDL (good cholesterol) in the body. This helps keep the blood arteries free of fatty deposits and plaque thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and heart-related ailments.
Apart from the cardiovascular health value, Golden Penny oils, are carefully processed and purified from high-quality raw materials to ensure safety and hygiene for consumers. Each pack size of the oil contains essential nutrients for healthy living.
